Wits and Wisdom learned in 

                        my seven decades of life.

                                God

                 If I say, there is no God ,

                I must be either totally blind

                in both my eyes or in mind

                Or I must be someone so arrogant

                stiff necked to have walked on this planet.

                How could I say that there is no God

                when my eyes behold  His handiwork

                all around me day after day

                and night after night.

                Can anyone look at the mesmerizing hues of sky at dawn

                when the sun leaves his chamber with all its majesty

                that no earthly king could stand in comparison.

                Even the blind with no sight to behold this beauty

                had ever denied the presence of God Almighty.

                For, they keep the  eyes of their heart wide open

                to see Him in their mind to craft songs like 

                " Blessed assurance"

                and " To God be the Glory, 

                Praise Him, Praise Him ! Be thou Exalted.' 

                Smelling God's love in the fragrance of flowers 

                Hearing His care in the sweet melodies of tweeting birds

                And sensing His touch in the embrace of friends and strangers

                Even the blind could see much deeper and higher than many of us

                living with wide eyes to see.

                Or haven't we wondered how a baby grow 

                                                    in the mother's womb

                Or our own bodies working so perfectly in unison

                 the brain with heart  and heart in turn with lungs 

                 and liver pumping live giving blood through

                 numerous paths of vessels in amazing co-ordination 

                that no regime in military could rival in comparison.

             You, who have denied God's existence so far

             for reason only you know.

            Please do take a moment to see the loveliness of sunlit sky 

            and the sparkling of starlit sky.

            Hear Him in the calling of birds 

            and patter of the rain that makes plants grow.

            See Him! Hear Him, and Come to know Him

             in and through everything He has created

            for you and me to embrace and enjoy an abundant life on earth!
